Read the news feature in the EMBL September newsletter on the 6th Annual Meeting of the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine. Over three sunny days in early-September, new and established researchers from EMBL and its four Nordic partners convened at Aarhus University in Denmark for the annual meeting of the Nordic EMBL Partnership for…

Nádia Gonçalves started as a research assistant in Anders Nykjær's group, affiliated Christian Vægter’s group, on September 1, 2015. Nádia will be studying the molecular mechanisms underlying Schwann cell dysfunction and poor trophic support present in diabetic neuropathy.

Magnus Kjærgaard from Poul Nissen’s group has been awarded the Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies (AIAS) AIAS-COFUND Marie Curie Fellowship, which will fund his research for 3 years from February 2016. In his research he will use single molecule fluorescence techniques and NMR spectroscopy to study the structural dynamics the intra-cellular…

Saida Said is visiting Poul Nissen’s group at DANDRITE in a 4 week company internship program as scientific assistant, starting in end September 2015. Saida Said will work with GAT1 expression and purification using the yeast expression system. Additionally, she will work with a LeuT mutant, which she believes will stabilize the inward-facing…

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Gregori Aminoff Prize in crystallography 2016 to Professor Poul Nissen, Aarhus University. Poul Nissen is the first Dane to receive the Aminoff Prize.

The Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine had their Science&Art contest in connection with the Annual meeting 2015, which took place 8-10 September 2015 in Aarhus, hosted by DANDRITE. The contest is now closed and the winners announced. See more information here.

Niels Kjærgaard Madsen, who started as an engineering intern in Anders’ group on September 1, 2015. Niels will be here for five months. In collaboration with Ulrik he will be working with optogenetics and electrophysiology, studying SorCS2 knockout mice with a depression-like behavior.

Jaroslava Geleticova is visiting Poul Nissen's group for 3 months from 1. Sept.-30. Nov. 2015, funded by her EMBO Shortterm Fellowship. Jaroslava is working on the expression of the sodium-potassium ATPase (NKA) in yeast. Important alpha 3 sodium-potassium ATPase mutations, which are possibly linked to human neurological disorders (Alternating…
